Apollo sorely needs some character development and promo time. It feels like he's been off TV for like, forever until he ran in to save Gargano last week.

OK, with that Virgil reference, Corbin might be shooting up my list of favorites.

When was the last time we had multiple bell-ringing? Now THAT'S old-school!

Apollo sorely needs some character development and promo time. That can be said for most of the NXT roster unfortunately.

Here are the facts about tonight's NXT:
- American Alpha VS Corey Hollis & John Skyler was Gable & Jordan’s 1st NXT match since March 16 & their 1st opener since February 24, Hollis & Skyler’s 1st NXT match since February 10 & their 1st opener of 2016 - Mike Cuellari VS Baron Corbin was Corbin’s 1st NXT match since February 10 & Cuellari’s NXT debut - Steve Cutler & Tucker Knight VS The Revival was Cutler & Knight’s 1st NXT match since March 2 & their 1st time teaming up & Dawson & Wilder’s 1st NXT match since February 17 - Apollo Crews VS Alex Riley was Crews’ 1st NXT match since February 24, Riley’s 1st NXT match since February 17, & the 50th match on NXT in 2016 - Bull Dempsey VS Samoa Joe was Joe’s 1st NXT match & main event since March 9 & Dempsey’s 1st NXT match since February 24 & 1st main event of 2016 = This was the 1st NXT since March 9 that did not have a Women’s Match

Quite enjoyed the pairing of Knight and Cutler, though Knight needs better gear.
Drifter bit was cool and Corey was on fire.
Great all around.

Finally finished the show. Awesome end but man I was more than a little disturbed by Finn being thrown into Corey, hitting and landing on Corey's head. Dude had to retire because of concussions and has like 80% use of his brain because of it, just didn't feel right watching that.

Alex Riley is tweeting like he's the real life version of Baron Corbin's character.
Except not good.

OH SNAP!

I can't believe what Samao Joe did to "Superstar" That Man!
Great show-closing brawl.

Riley's (kayfabe) attitude towards the indies is something he was doing since his commentary days with the whole "You're in the big leagues now" stuff every time someone debuted. And he tweeted that stuff about wrestling in bars as a response to a Twitter heckler. Other than that his heel character is really not much like Corbin's. Riley's heel character since returning hasn't really been an "anti indy" anything, people largely just leapt to that conclusion based on those random awkward tweets that weren't directed at any specific wrestler. Until the match with Apollo, Riley hadn't interacted with any indie dudes since returning. F If I can be honest, I think people WANT Riley to be some jealous anti-indy douche because they already didn't like him and if he's legit talking shit on their favorite indy wrestlers, they now get to have an justified reason to.

Oh, I don't want/need any other reasons to dislike Riley. I find nothing appealing about him anyway. I know his character isn't like Corbin's, I was talking about the specific tweets from today. Most of his tweets, whether directed at "indy guys" or not, are usually things I find douchey generally.
